S-04 may be slightly less width (very slightly at that) but overall surface area is going to be more with the solid contact patches. Also when you have individual blocks like the as3 they squirm against each other causing the tire to overheat and become slippery.

The s-04 vs the as3 is not even in the same league.
Tell why I was able to run 12.9 on my stock Z with the as3 and my best with so4 was 13.1 on the drag strip? Btw I went multiple session/days with both tires

So straight line time now equals good handling? Interesting, those top fuel cars must be amazing on a road course then.

I never tracked the Z, but know as3 perform better than off sized so4
Don't go half a$$ with a subpar tire for tracking. Step up to the supersports or re11 for that

Car is 99% street driven so s-04 suits my needs better for my level at the track right now. I'll maybe get another set of wheel and tires when I progress but right now it's not necessary. Can give any of us a f1 car and put an f1 driver in a stock z and gen would probably still smoke us all.

Also the s-04 is the competitor to the pss, the pss gets better overall reviews but it is very close on all reviews and cost a lot less. While I can't speak personally as I didn't try the pss but from some who have used both the s-04 seems to keep its grip better throughout its lifespan where I have heard the pss starts to degrade about 1/2 life.
